ABOUT ERICA YOUNG
I’m fascinated by networks and how they drive outcomes for people, organisations, and society as a whole. In order to maintain relationships with the people who are most important to me, I split my time between 3 cities: Mexico City, London, and Hong Kong.When I was 12 years old, I co-hosted my first gathering. My co-host and I couldn’t agree on whether our friends liked pickles or strawberries more, so we had heaping bowls of each side-by-side throughout her basement. Of course, our guests were also kids, so all the bowls were empty by the end of the night and we never resolved our disagreement. I’ve been experimenting with gathering people ever since.If you use the word network as a noun and not a verb, it doesn’t feel dirty.Lots of people find ‘networking’ uncomfortable. Usually, that’s because their mental model of networking hinges on a false dichotomy. They often believe that connections should happen organically and that any attempt to intentionally connect with others is calculated. It’s important to acknowledge that you can both be intentional and generous at the same time.Sometimes we get in our own way while trying to connect with others.There are so many embedded assumptions and limiting beliefs that we have about connecting with others. They hold us back from cultivating life-changing relationships. Whether you think that building community is only for extroverts or that strong relationships are the only ones that matter, I would love the opportunity to change your mind. Community is essential, in and outside the workplace.If I could make a living helping adult males make meaningful friendships, that’s probably what I’d do. The statistics around adult male social isolation, depression, and suicide are staggering. Now that we have overwhelming evidence about how critical community and relationships are to our health and wellbeing, this should be a priority.
